Prompt ~ AUTHENTIC
AUTHENTIC
by John Yeo
What does calling something authentic actually mean?
If the sense of identification proves it’s actually real
Could one prove the authenticity of it, sight unseen?
~
I suddenly woke this morning from a realistic dream
The power of the images was unbelievably surreal
What does calling something authentic actually mean?
~
I pinched myself when things were not what they seem
An alternative reality that would be difficult to conceal
Could one prove the authenticity of life, sight unseen?
~
A parallel experience that seemed alien to my lifestream
Both lives were familiar as part of life’s spinning wheel
What does calling something authentic actually mean?
~
If I lived permanently ensconced in the life of my dream
Reality as I know it would be a world that’s unreal
Could one prove the authenticity of a life sight unseen?
~
Would a schizophrenic personality somehow glean
Peace of mind with a new turn of the balance wheel?
What does calling a life authentic actually mean?
Could one prove the authenticity of it, sight unseen?
